[oletrucks] Dating a distributor

[J Forbes <jforbes@primenet.com>]

"I'm trying to figure out what distributor 1112353-OJ26 (Delco Remy)
came out
of."

The part that reads 0J26 is the date code, 0 is the last digit of the
year (1950 or 1960), J is the month (10th letter in alphabet makes it
October or thereabouts), and 26 is the day.  I'd guess that the
distributor is out of a 1961 engine.  This is the common Delco date
coding scheme.
